Don't Tread On Me

Altering the Star-Spangled Banner, the beloved National Anthem of the United States of America by singing it in a foreign language, changing intents & meanings in passages and finally renaming it--well, that is about as constructive & useful in encouraging meaningful and rational discussion on immigration reform (no matter where you stand on the issue) as this would be...

Some things you just don't mess with.

PS I am seriously considering removing this post. Yes, I think the analogy is compelling & relevant to the issue, but man the "bandera nueva" image really is a total eye-sore. It literally hurts my eyes just to look at it... (30 April 2006)
